People have been playing with marbles for thousands of years. The first
marbles were probably either river stones that happened to be naturally
round enough to roll or, more likely, rounded globs of clay that were baked
hardness. Such very old clay marbles have been found in both Greek and
Roman ruins, and quartz spheres have been dated at around 6000 B.C.
Harder and more durable marbles tend to inspire different kinds of games
than soft clay marbles, which crack very easily. So with the advent of hand
rounded and polished marbles made of agate or some other rugged, igneous
rock, the ‘golden age’ of marbles and marble play flowered. Stone marbles
began to appear in the early 1800s in what is now the southern part of
Germany. Shortly after, handmade glass marbles appeared in the same part
of Europe. For the next 120 years, marbles and marble playing-there were
literally hundred of games - flourished in both Europe and America. Marble
players developed their own vocabulary for different sizes and materials of
11
marbles, as well as for the many kinds of games to be played and the way
marbles were used in the games. For example, if you were going to play a
game of Ring-Taw, one of the most popular and enduring marbles games,
you would lag for the first shot, and then knuckle down from the baulk, trying
your best to get a mib or two with your opponent’s immie.

marbles __________.
A. has been going on since ancient C. is losing popularity

B. is a relatively recent phenomenon

A. in the 18th century C. in 6000 B.C
B. in the 1970s D. after glass marbles were
developed
4. We can infer from the passage that marble playing __________.
A. is a game only for children C. is played according to one set of
B. has many variations in games rules
D. uses only one kind of marble
5. We can conclude from lines 11-12 of the passage that the
terminology of marble playing is __________.
A. specialized C. easy to understand
B. used only by children D. derived from an ancient
language

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout
history the sea has served the need of man. The sea has provided man with
food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today,
nearly two thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kms of the sea
coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help
mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea,
however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs. The list of riches
of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil and
gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. A lot of valuable
minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of
food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practised in the past
mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts
believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar
to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as
a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea.
The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe
that by the year 2050s the problems that prevent us from fully exploiting the
food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.
1. The best title for this passage is ___________.
A. Sea Harvest. B. Technology and the Exploiting of
C. Sea Food. the Sea.
D. Man and Sea.
2. The major things that the sea offers man are ___________.
A. food, energy sources and B. fish and oil.
minerals. D. ocean currents and waves.
C. minerals and oil.
3. The sea serves the needs of man because ___________.
A. it provides man with sea food. B. it offers oil to man.
C. it supplies man with minerals. D. all of the above.
4. The word Oriental people in the fourth paragraph probably means

___________.
20
A. European people. B. African people.
C. Asian people. D. American people.
5. We can conclude from the passage that ___________.
A. the sea resources have largely been used up.
B. the sea, in a broad sense, hasn’t yet been developed.
C. the problems that prevent us from fully exploiting the sea have already
been solved.
D. by the year 2050, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the
sea resources.

appeared in public.
From the age of six, when his father took him on the first foreign tour,
Mozart toured the courts and musical centres of Austria, Germany, France,
England, Holland, Switzerland and Italy. It has been calculated that Mozart
spent almost a third of his short life - he died at the age of thirty five –
travelling.
As Mozart matured, he continued to tour and give concerts. Mozart also

B. As rich as a financial D. Very poor
2. When did he take the first step into the world of music as a
composer?
A. When he was three C. When he was fourteen
B. When he was five
D. When he was thirty-five
3. What did he do on his first tour to some major European
countries?
A. He made so much sightseeing C. He toured only
B. He toured the courts and musical
centres D. He did nothing
4. Why is it possible to name Mozart “A travelling composer”?
A. Because he spent almost a third of C. Because he never travelled.
his short life travelling. D. Because he had good

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few
speakers to become the dominant language of international communication.
English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having
incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the
Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part,
spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as Wales,
Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries,
English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade
(including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small
enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts
of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became
the primary language of international business, banking, and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer
systems worldwide is in English. Two-thirds of the world's science writing is
in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising,
media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more
than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are
nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of nonnative users
than any other language in the world.
1. What is the main topic of this passage ?
A. The number of non-native users of English.

the following :
A. declaration B. features C. curiousities D. customs

England?

A. in 1066 B. around C. before 1600 D. after 1600
1350
5. According to the passage, all of the following contributed to the spread of
English around the world except __________.
A. The slave B. Colonization C. Missionaries D. The Norman
trade invasion
6. As used in line 6, which of the follwing is closet in meaning to the word
“course”?
A. Subject B. Policy C. Time D. Track
7. The word “enclaves” in line 8 could be best replaced by which of
the following?

organizations

A. Anyone can try to make a drink which tastes similar to Coca-Cola.
Chemists say that it consists almost entirely of carbonated water and
sugar.
B. In only a few years Coca-Cola became the national drink of the United
States. The shape of the famous bottle was invented in 1961. During the
Second World War, American soldiers drank three million bottles of Coca-
Cola a day.
C. Coca-Cola was originally invented by John Pemberton, a pharmacist in
Atlanta, Georgia. In 1886, he created a new kind of medicine to cure
tiredness and headaches.
D. This helped spread the name and flavour of ‘ Coke’ all over the world .
E. Then a businessman bought Pemberton’s recipe for his creation. He did
something to the recipe and made a really refreshing drink that appealed
to many people. Demand for the drink grew.
F. But no one outside the Coca-Cola company has yet discovered what the
‘magic’ combination of ingredients is, and a very few people- only seven,
have ever known the secrete formula of Coca-Cola. Only two of them are
still alive today, so they never travel on the same aeroplane.
G. Today, nearly a hundred million bottles or cans are drunk every day, in
one hundred and fifty-five different countries.
H. It tasted so revolting that just about no one wanted to buy it. In the first
year, Pemberton only made $50 from his creation.
